The Slow Motion Campus Tour is a (perhaps never-ending) series of geocaching events at various noteworthy places on the University of Washington Campus. For the 13th event, we'll head to an open space near one of the newer north campus dorms, Willow Hall.
Willow Hall opened in 2018, on part of the former footprint of McCarty Hall, an older dorm that was torn down and replaced with 3 other dorms (Willow, Madrona and [new] McCarty). The old McCarty and the new dorms are all located on and adjacent to the steep NE slope of the University plateau, and this event takes place on a small terrace with a view to the east (and Hansee Hall, soon to also be replaced). Originally it had a set of blue Adirondack chairs, but I'm not sure they're still there. A logical approach to the area is to enter the plaza with the boulders between Willow and Madrona, take the underpass to the east under Willow, then look for a set of stairs that lead up.
This takes place during summer quarter, when the student population is greatly reduced, so there should not be many people around.
As usual, driving to campus isn't recommended. The location is a nice walk from the Husky Stadium or University District Light Rail station, or any number of buses that service the University District.
